Using case studies and simulations in teaching is highly engaging and motivating. The case method bridges theory to practice, and promotes the development of skills including: communication, active listening, critical thinking and decision-making skills. In addition, by using the case study method, the participants apply theoretical knowledge, analyze and reflect on various approaches to make sense of a case. Two participants from Constanta Maritime University: Assoc Prof Dr Anca Sirbu and Luminita Stan took part in the short term teaching event kindly hosted by Naval Academy from Varna and piloted different types of teaching methods for using cases in classroom. Within an Erasmus+ consortium, they tested problem-based learning, discussion, debate, intimate debate, public hearing, trial, jigsaw, and role-play methods. Among the high quality achievements: The art of formulating Opening questions, Anchor questions as well as specific questions for Description, Analysis and Prescription.
